Audio auditions of players speaking in-character

I'm doing this as part of the application process in my  game , but thought it would also be cool to create a sort of audio database of players who like to roleplay and speak in-character. The game I'm running is for D&D 5e, but this could apply to anyone looking for players who share their enthusiasm for roleplaying. You don't have to be a professional voice actor to audition; in fact it might help if you're a little bad so others with the same skill level will feel more comfortable roleplaying with you. And you can always play a low-charisma half-orc who merely grunts and speaks in one-word sentences if you're really shy. I personally am no professional, as you will tell by my audition, but all I'm looking for in my games are players who show enthusiasm, and put at least a little bit of effort into portraying their character. To audition, simply follow this  link and answer the NPC's questions in a recording of your own. Soundcloud has a pretty simple record button, but you may use youtube or something else if you prefer. Post the link below, and if you hear other people/characters you'd like to play with, shoot them a message!
Here's my own audition. As you can tell, I don't have perfect diction and mess a word or two. You can be as elaborate as you like in answering the questions. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/tristan-murphy-539131875/quintus-audition/s-4TyZq" rel="nofollow">https://soundcloud.com/tristan-murphy-539131875/quintus-audition/s-4TyZq</a>
How cool would it be if we were all to do a voice audition and add it to our Profiles. &nbsp; We could do two or three to establish a variety of characters.

What a fun idea :) &nbsp;It's too bad your game takes place during the time of a game I am already playing, or I would be so fast to sign up XD

That time is a placeholder, it will be decided based on the availability of all the players in the party.
Here's mine:&nbsp;<a href="https://soundcloud.com/alex-picard-3/d-d-audition-sieur-dubois-de" rel="nofollow">https://soundcloud.com/alex-picard-3/d-d-audition-sieur-dubois-de</a>
<a href="https://soundcloud.com/user-865537943/final-d-d-au" rel="nofollow">https://soundcloud.com/user-865537943/final-d-d-au</a>... This is mine that I made for the campaign you have. Of course I left things out, because realistic all, my character forgets some things. For example, in the heat of battle he's jolly, and has a lot of fun with it, but when he talks about how he fights, he doesn't actively think about stuff like that. Also, at the end, where he 'remembers' his breath ability, that wasn't me messing up, that's showing that Orgar sometimes get's swept up in what he's saying, and forgets details. Basically he's forgetful about details, but always remember the general thing, if he remembers a detail it's because he's been talking a lot, or he thought about what happened. Your audition thing made me think a lot, if I had one of those stationary mics, I would've came into the scene like I was walking to the table, sadly I have a turtle beach, so to do that you might hear mic movement which would be bad. Also I know the time was a place holder but it was perfect if it stayed that way.
Here was my audition for Alvyn Zanna, the Gnome Bard! <a href="https://soundcloud.com/laurence-jamil/alvyn-zanna" rel="nofollow">https://soundcloud.com/laurence-jamil/alvyn-zanna</a>

First time I ever did something like this, didnt expect at all that i'd get a game.&nbsp; So from my side, i'd encourage everyone to give it a shot even if you never did it before :)
